Download Windows 8.1 ISOs

Microsoft has indeed launched the new Windows 8.1 in the Store, but the company has made it very clear that no ISOs would be released for those looking for a clean install of the operating system.

It turns out however that a small trick can help any Windows 8 user out there download a Windows 8.1 ISO using Microsoft’s own upgrade assistant that’s supposed to help your deploy the operating system.

The idea is pretty simple: the Windows 8 upgrade assistant saves your legitimate key in the Windows Registry, so consumers can use the 8.1 install assistant to download an ISO with Microsoft’s latest operating system.

PureInfoTech writes that users first need to deploy the Windows 8 upgrade assistance, but let’s take all steps one at a time to make it easier for beginners too.

Step 1: go over to this link and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click on “Install Windows 8” and download the upgrade assistant.
